Hey, no new chapter for Lockdown, or change in its status. This is a notification about my new story, which if you're interested in you can find more about below. If not, have a great day and sorry to disturb you with the update.

My new story "Inch by Inch" is live on RoyalRoad and now up to 6 chapters/ 15k words. It's a progression fantasy novel which is a different genre from Lockdown, but I hope you'll enjoy it anyway.

> Jay wanted to be an adventurer. It was his dream, and he had a plan to achieve it, years in the making. He’d done the research, he’d made the connections, he’d put in the effort. It was going to work — until the three gods made a mess of it all.

>

> Rather than filling him with power and potential, their chosen Word ruined everything. His gods-given Word entrusted him to live within the safety of a Wonder — not navigate the ever-changing, ever-dangerous wilds between them. A home Word cannot find and fight Oddities. It cannot make an adventurer.

>

> Jay must scramble to catch up, to prove everyone wrong, to do it despite everything. His future, his sentence will not be found in his hometown but in the far-away city states. It will not be a smooth journey. It cannot be done alone. He will need help, for a life of adventure is not an easy job.

>

> But in a world that is different each day, there must be a place for Jay as he denies the Gods’ plans. If not, he’ll make one.
